Alligator strolls across road 'like a boss' after Hurricane Matthew

While residents in the UK have to deal with the odd pesky fox ransacking their rubbish bins (or more), spare a thought for our American friends who sometimes have to contend with alligators on the loose.

A motorist in Doral, Florida, captured on camera an errant alligator casually strolling across a road as a queue of drivers waited for the slow-moving reptile to pass.

Armando Vazquez, who was in the queue of cars, caught the alligator ‘cruising’ in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew.

She posted the video, which has racked up 460,000 views and thousands of shares in 48 hours, on Facebook, warning others in Miami-Dade County to "be careful".

Ms Vazquez added [translated]: “Usually they are more afraid of us than we are of them, but this looks like it has already done this on other occasions.”
